CORRUPTION REPORTERS As a nation settled into a strict lockdown in March 2020, put in place to curb the spread of the novel coronavirus, President Cyril Ramaphosa made a promise to the public, that government would help those severely affected by the lockdown. It would protect the funds put in place to achieve this. These funds were allocated to bolster the medical response and assist the hungry and needy, social grantees and employees who lost their income, because of the pandemic and the regulations limiting economic activity. It comes as no surprise that, during the pandemic, these funds were evidently misappropriated by some who could not resist the temptation. Most of the allegations reported to Corruption Watch referred to employers either registering employees for TERS (Temporary Employer/Employee Relief Scheme), but not paying the employees when the pay-outs arrived, or companies claiming on behalf of employees but giving them only a fraction of the money due to them. Some unscrupulous businesses gave it as loans that their staff would have to pay back. [Source: corruptionwatch.org.za] |

RELIGIOUS FREEDOM IN APARTHEID SOUTH AFRICA When the National Party triumphed in the 1948 elections, Christianity existed with political power. The Preamble of the Constitution of South Africa declared that Christian values were to be upheld. For this reason, Lubbe (1986:116–117) argues the condition which existed in apartheid South Africa can be described as religious tolerance, rather that religious freedom. The feeling among adherents of other religions that they are tolerated rather than fully free, says Lubbe (1986:117), stems from the general South African assumption that Christianity is superior to other religions.

11.6 FIGURE 11.6 below shows a gear-drive system. Driver gear A on the shaft of the electric motor has 18 teeth that mesh with gear B with 36 teeth on a counter shaft. On the counter shaft is another driver gear, C, with 16 teeth that mesh with gear D with 46 teeth. The second counter shaft has driver gear E with 40 teeth, which drives gear F with 60 teeth on the output shaft.
FIGURE 11.6
Calculate the:
11.6.1 Rotation frequency of the input shaft on the electric motor if the output shaft rotates at 160 r/min (3)
11.6.2 Velocity ratio between the input and output shaft (2)
11.6.3 In which direction will the driven shaft rotate if the driver gear rotates anti-clockwise? (1)
